Love me some Tyler Holt

I'm gonna start the Tyler Holt fan club. I need some ideas for a good name for it
Tyler Holt is a very useful backup OF! Excellent defense, good speed, and makes contact (at least so far)!

Holt is a good ball player. Like him as a backup outfielder. They should keep him.

I kind of feel for Finnegan. AAA would be the best place for him to hone his craft (see: Reed & Stephenson), yet he is out there throwing 20 pitches every inning in the big leagues out of necessity.
That said, must be nice to collect that MLB paycheck. So I only KIND OF feel for him.
Of course, there was a significant number of folks here on RedsZone who wanted to keep Jake Cave instead. I even saw someone suggest trading Holt to the Yankees to keep Cave's rights.

I probably would have kept Cave over Holt, only cause Holt had options. That said, I was in favor of sending Schebler to AAA to begin the season, so with Yorman on the DL, I would have kept both Cave and Holt.
As I noted earlier, Cave is off to a very hot start in the minors and was just promoted to AAA the other day and has already homered. He can really hit righties.

Another lead-off walk. Brandon "Danger Powers" Finnegan likes to live dangerously.
I remember him getting the Win for the Phillies against the Reds in a 19 inning game a few yrs ago.

High highs and low lows for Finnegan. Struck out nine Phillies last month, walked five of them so far today.

Walks will haunt.
Riggleman on the phone to the bullpen. Pryce wouldn't let Brandon leave the mound until he'd given up seven runs and eaten all of his brussels sprouts.
